An 80-year-old man, Zacheus Abati, has been brought before a Lagos State Magistrates’ Court sitting in Ogba for allegedly defrauding a cleric, Omobola Adeosun, of N2.6m.
Abati was arraigned alongside his nephew, Michael Oni, 55, and one Nojeem Adeokun, 61, on four counts of fraud and issuing of dud cheque.
She reportedly requested a refund and Abati issued her a cheque which was dishonoured on presentation at the bank on the grounds of insufficient funds in the account on which the cheque was drawn. “I asked to see someone who can testify that the land belongs to him and he called Mr Nojeem Adeokun who assured me the deal was genuine. I paid N2.6m in installments and he gave me receipts. After paying N2.6m, I requested that I wanted to take possession of the land. He told me I cannot do anything on the land. He said a lawyer wanted me to give them some weeks to get execution of judgment on the land.
“I have known the complainant since 2017. I sold the land to her for N4m and she paid N2.6m in four instalments. She later came to me that she was no longer interested in the land because hoodlums used to disturb her on the land.
